A total of 28 Samsung phones were found to have used Apple patents without permission and to have copied key designs; but many of them are considerably older devices than those listed above, and therefore rarely found on sale anymore.

This is just the first stage in Apple’s efforts to see the offending phones removed from sale in the USA, and it will have to wait until September 20 for the official hearing, but even then it won’t be smooth sailing.

According to The Guardian, Apple’s legal team must prepare for a four-part test to show the court that irreparable injury has been caused by the devices being on sale. It must prove that the $1.05 billion already awarded isn’t compensation enough, and that further action is needed. Even if the team gets that far, it has to show that such a ban doesn’t harm the public interest.
